The Truth About Starting Over
|
Hi, Reader. You know those big, bold moves that look so dreamy from the outside? Yeah—this isn’t that email. When I sold most of my stuff and moved to France, I expected some discomfort… but the emotional whiplash that shows up from time to time really surprised me. Everyone keeps saying, “You’re living the dream!” And yes, I am so very fortunate to have landed where I've landed. I love my life. Still, there are times I find myself sitting in the middle of the living room floor, stuffing my face with chips, wondering, “What the hell have I done?” In my latest video, I share the REAL story - not the Instagram version. What it feels like when the honeymoon wears off, grief sneaks in, and all the transitions you thought you’d processed start stacking on top of each other.

Hi Reader. Let me ask you something BOLD: What lights you up now? Not what used to. -- Not what looks good on paper. I mean, the kind of spark that makes you feel alive —maybe even a little dangerous ...in a good way. 😏 If you’re struggling to answer that, you’re not broken. You're likely in the Messy Middle—that strange in-between space where your old identity doesn’t quite fit, and the next version of you hasn’t fully shown up yet. And guess what? That space is sacred. You’re waking up....
Reader, I tell you this from experience. Reinvention sounds sexy ...until you’re in it. Truth: Change is Messy. My sister trip is winding down here in Texas. I fly back to France on the 29th. The visit has been both wonderful and a tad confusing. Familiarity is a drug. The familiar is comfortable, like a soft blanket... even if the blanket has a few thorns and stickers in it. The discomfort of the known is still hard to let go when the unknown is so ...well, unknown. I'm feeling it now. As...
It’s Time to Toughen the Talk. Reader, over the last few weeks, we’ve covered why you might feel stuck after retiring (or after a divorce, the death of a loved one, or any other lifequake event).
